Stargate Universe movie plans canceled

NMW reports Brad Wright as saying, “We just recently found out that the SGU movie is not going to happen. It took too long. We just couldn’t get it together in time, and the window was now closed.” He confirmed it at the official Stargate convention in Vancouver

The news means that after almost two decades there is no new Stargate in production. Wright continued: It’s actually sad for me because after 17 years, I’m clearing out my desk tomorrow morning.”

However, Wright insisted that Stargate, which spanned a movie and three TV versions in Stargate: SG1, Stargate Atlantis and Stargate Universe may still have a future. He said: “It’s a franchise. Stargate is not over. Somebody smart from MGM is going to figure it out, and something will happen.”
